LONDON, January I.-The Cabinet Coun-

Lord Salisbury finds that progress in the
reconstruction OF the Cabinet Il impeded
by party jealousies over Goscben's appoint
ment. The whole influence OF the Carlton
Club Is exerted to persuade Lord lddes.
leigh and Viscount Cross to remIin in
office. Lord Iddesleigh pleads that he is in
III health and unable to sustain the fatlgues
OF the foreign Office. ana he will persist in
his determination to retire. Niscount
Cross Is uncertain as to what he shall do.
The only positive result announced to-
day has been the Earl OF NorthbroOk's con-
sent to Join Goschen in Conservative Cioi-
net. II has not yet been decided what port
folio will be given him. The Conser.
yative opposition is mainly directed
against Lord Northbrook, partly be-
cause he is suspected Of sympathizing
with Gladstone. and partly because he has
hitherto been hostile TO saIisbury's foreign
and Indian policy. When Salisbury was
In the Indian office. IN 1915, Lord North
brook resigned the Viceroyalty OF Indii
because he differed with Salisbury regard
ing the laiter's Afghan policy. II Goschen

outs OF Lansdowne and the Earl OF Morley.
Gladstone's letter commenting upon
Chamberlain's recent speech was addressed
to Sir William Vernon Harcourt, and con-
Guided with the significant intnlatiOn that
the recipient could make what Use he liked

to Chamberlain who, IN reply, expressed his
desire for conference. Chamberlain has sum-
moned private meeting OF leading members
Of the Radical union to consult upon terms

lieyes That The conferenc would result sue

obstacle TO a COMPROMISE, and they will not
accede to anything short OF the submission
Of Chamberlain. A speaker at to-day's
meeting OF the National League at Dub

tired OF Chamberlain.
II Is considered improbable that change
will be made in the Foreign Office. Lord
Iddesleigh denies that he has expressed
wish to retire. and Lord Morley denies that
lie has been offered the Foreign portfolio.
The cessary changes IN the Cabinet are
few in number, and, il is thought, will not
be Of 4 startling character. Lord Sails
bury is said TO be much annoyed by whit
he terms the mischieyOus gossip OF news

WASHINGTON, January A member Of
Congress tells story In illustration Of his
belief that Senator Brown, Of Georgia, has
no idea Of resigning. An old fellow owned
large number OF horses and mules. One
OF the latter was q small but supple black
animal with GwiIf OF his own. He had a
habit when crossing river on f1tbolt OF
getting Just as far on the side as possible.
As he was q sort OF mule-leader, and the
others focked 10 him, there was danger OF
his oyerturning the fiat. So the two negroes
who had charge OF the teams one day
made bargain TO get all the other
animals OF the boat, and then by
a concerted effort pitch his sable
obsiinacy INTO the river. The plan was
made in the hearing OF the intended vic.
tim. He seemed to prick up his long ears
and be thinking. AT any rate, he had
project OF his own, which revealed itself
when the stout, brawny negroes attempted
TO execute their own. No power OF theirs
was equal to the occasion. One OF them
was presumably strong enough to take up
The little mule and toss him overheard, but
both combined couldn't bulge him, and
the task was given no as hopeless. "Brown
will cling TO his seat like that little black
long. ears" observed the congressman.
In speaking this morning OF his alleged
candidacy for the senatorship in Georgia,
Judge Crisp shrewdly remarked: ~ re.

first thing was to provide the cucumbers.
